Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, everybody, for being here.
A kind of a preamble—and I have a lot of questions, as I think all of our colleagues do—is that the announcement that we were going to do this study created concern. There are people who are participating in various ways in the west coast fishery who have organized themselves and have proceeded according to the rules. They're concerned that we're going to blow everything up. I don't think that's anybody's desire.
The young fishers we heard from a number of months ago were very clear that, even though they're looking at considerable barriers to entry into the industry as young fishers, they had no desire to disadvantage the people who have proceeded in good faith and have created, basically, the regime we have today.
We need to look at alternatives. We need to look at what we can do to, first of all, meet some of the points that the DFO indicates are its targets: economic viability, sustainable livelihoods, distribution, access to benefits, regional economic benefits and sustainable communities. I would submit that if you talk to some fishers, you'd hear we're not meeting any of those, and certainly some analyses of the DFO's activities are that we've done kind of okay in a macro sense on the economic side, but not at all on the social and community side.
First of all, I have a couple of technical questions. How many fisheries in British Columbia are basically governed through an ITQ system, and how many are not? Give as short as possible an answer, if you could.
